We do the print that way to get over some bugs that Google Map has -- The Google Team is working on them so in the meantime our print is not perfect. We're working on ways to improve this. We know there are problems with cutting out and some road names do not appear...
If you want to do portions, or a different view, I recommend you try using the full-screen mode and take manual screenshots that you can then paste into a word document, etc.
I can never get the mile markers to print. Has anyone been able to do this? I like to visualize my distance so I end up marking in the miles by hand after I print the map.
I am having the same problem as others. The printed map only shows the center of the route and crops out the top and bottom portions. Since you have acquired RouteSlip.com, I suggest you incorporate their technology as soon as possible. Going elsewhere until you fix your problems.
I just printed my route with the elevation scale along the bottom all was fine the entire route was included it was an 8.3 mile route. I did not have the map "zoomed" all the way in so i did get all the map. I think this is an awesome feature to your site and I thank you for providing it. I am training for the rock n roll in June and my running group uses this site it is a great tool in our training toolbox. I hope all works out for the others and if you leave well, we will be here when you get back. thank you again for helping me to conquer my first marathon. If anyone has any advice let me know I am feeling brave in February but come end of May i will get nervous i am sure!!! Go Padres!!
When you get ready to print the map you must zoom it in till it fits the screen. Then it will print the whole map.
Also if you want to print the directions, you have the option of printing "Notes" along with the map. Or; You can open a Word Document, highlight the "Notes", hit the "Edit" tab on top of your Windows page, Hit "Paste Special" Highlight "Unformatted Text" and hit "Paste". This will give you "ONLY" the directions, without the highlighted cells. Then you can format it to fit the page, to best work for you.
We have mapped a bunch of rides out now with this. Works great once you get into it a bit. I even use it for my motorcycle rides. 300 to 500 mile rides. Love it.
I would like to print a continuous map. We are riding from the Oklahoma border to the Nebraska border and we need to print continuously across sheets of paper we will be taping together to form one, long map. Is there a way to zoom in and have the print follow the rout at that zoom level?
I just tried this for the first time today and I think it's great! The only thing is that when I printed my route, the actual street map seems to have shrunk and now the route doesn't match where the streets actually are. I've tried in IE7 as well as Firefox. Firefox gives me the unmatched map/route. IE7 only gives me my notes and no map/route at all.
Thanks for the suggestion of taking manual screen prints, and then imbedding in Word. That works much better. The map I made was very good, and when I printed, it superimposed the route over Yahoo maps, but the route did not line up correctly with the map. It's like the route and the map were using different scales.
That problem aside, I like the website. It's a cool way to create routes and share them with people.
When creating routes in the Beta - all my turns seem to be duplicated when printing the route with Include marker notes and turns selected.

I have been making short run routes and saving. None of these print, as the print screen cuts out all of the route save a tiny piece of it. The whole print function is totally screwed up, and has been for since you guys remade the website about a year ago. I used to use the mapmyrun site as a handy tool and raved about it to all my PT clients, but its useless now without being able to print. I wrote to you about 6 months ago with this problem and nothing has been fixed I see. It seems to be a common problem. Can't somebody make it a top priority?!
My route has come out in blue, but is not in line with the actual roads that I was planning to go along....it seems that the route is not actually printing on the roads and therefore I have no idea which roads the route is on now......what am I doing wrong?
